bpf: allow ksock connect/send calls from wq
This commit relaxes the constraint preventing the use of ksock kfuncs from
asynchronous workqueues. It also updates the ksock_wq selftest to verify
that connect() and send() function properly when called from workqueues.

[Severity: Medium]
Can this cause a workqueue double-init on big-endian architectures?
The work_map map is defined with a u32 key, but the key variable here was
changed to u64. On big-endian systems, passing &key to bpf_map_lookup_elem()
will read the most significant 32 bits, which will evaluate to 0 for both
key = 0 and key = 1.
Because of this, the loop would fetch the map element for index 0 twice.
During the second iteration, bpf_wq_init() would be called on value->work
while it may already be actively queued from the first iteration. Does
re-initializing an active work_struct without serialization run the risk
of corrupting the global workqueue list and crashing?
